"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

Another Pleasant Surprise

You might recall our recent discovery that out of some 187,000 possibilities, this blog comes up second when you Google fuck john bolton (without quotes).

Well, we came across something even better. If you Google the phrase cultural metaphor (again, sans quotes), the legendary post Riffs On Football As Cultural Metaphor comes up third out of a declared 1,840,000 possiblities.

Now, I realize that Google's estimations of search possibilities are frequently somewhat exaggerated, and I have no idea as to exactly how they are ranking a blog post above university think pieces, but it's still pretty fucking cool.

Thank you for this blog. That's all I can say. You most definitely have made this blog into something thats eye opening and important. You clearly know so much about the subject, youve covered so many bases. Great stuff from this part of the internet. Again, thank you for this blog.
